TETON Sports Mammoth Queen Size Sleeping Bag

There is perhaps nothing better when camping in cold weather than the feeling of wrapping yourself up in a nice, warm, plush sleeping bag. Sometimes it’s even better when you get to share it with someone else, or even just your dog if it made the trip.

This isn’t very likely if you’re using a single sleeping bag, but doubles offer an expanded amount of room that can do just that. You don’t have to necessarily share, but the option is there.

Sleeping bags play a big role in the quality of sleep you get each night, and can also help keep you safe from the elements. Choose the right sleeping bag, and you’ll be sure to arise each morning with plenty of energy, refreshed and ready to go. Choose a poor quality bag, or the wrong sleeping bag for the season, and you’re in for some long nights.

The TETON Sports Mammoth Queen Size Sleeping Bag is made for colder weather, and it can certainly provide you and any other occupants with plenty of warmth and cushioning. It’s not the slightest or most convenient sleeping bag available, but if comfort is all you’re seeking, you’ll find it here.
